Blair
couldn't sleep so he went to watch some TV and when that didn't work he tried
to read a book. The furniture was starting to move again and he'd had about all
he could take. "Fucking go away. Leave me in peace." as he yelled at
Elvira. Then he started talking to himself, she was a nightmare alive but now
she's even worse dead.

He called
Estevan and told him, "I'm going away for a few days so you will have to
manage the clubs."

"What's
going on Blair?"

"Elvira
is back and driving me crazy."

"What!!"

"Yeah
that's right the bitch is back." so clean up your mess and get rid of her
or I'm gone for good."

"I'll
see what I can do! How long will you be gone for?"

"Haven't
decided but I'm off as of now. I'll phone when I get back."

Blair packed
a bag and took off on his bike. He past Teddy as she walked alone. He glanced
at her but carried on without stopping. He needed time to think. He had no
intention of going home any time soon.

Teddy
knocked on Blair's door but there no answer. She walked back to her home a
little deflated that he wasn't there. Her mobile went buzz and there was texted
message and it read, 'I miss you darling. I'm sorry. I will be there soon.' She
panicked at the message, frantic it was her ex. Teddy
didn't want to see him as she knew what was going to happen he would be all
loving, give her the speech you need to be looked after and then he would lock
her in the house without anyway of contacting the outside world. Then he would
date other woman as if he was single.

She tried
ringing Blair and it kept ringing. She said out loud, "Blair where are
you?" The phone started to ring the ID said Blair, she answered it almost
in tears, "Blair I'm in trouble!"

"What's
wrong?"

"My ex
says he coming home. I'm scared. What do I do?" Blair thought for moment,
what should he do turn around and help her or keep going?

"Teddy,
where are you?"

"At my
house."

"Listen
to me. Get to my house and let yourself with the spare key and lock the door
and I'll be there shortly."

He turned
around and headed back to his place. His mind was racing. All sorts of thoughts
were going through his head, why was he helping her, was it love, friendship or
did he feel sorry for her. When he got home he saw her curled up in his bedroom.

"Teddy
are you ok?" as he sat beside her.

"No,
I'm not." Blair got her onto the bed and held her as she let the fear
drain her emotionally. This was new to him. His only experience was Elvira and
that wasn't anything to brag about. Then there was Heather but although he had
feelings for her and told her he loved her this was different. He tried to push
things with Heather and lost her because of his stupidity and one night stands
for him were just that.What
was he thinking he was at the airport when he returned her call and heard her
in a state. Whatever this was he was going to go with the flow this time.

"I need
to go away for awhile. You can stay here while I'm gone."

"Go. Go
where?"

"This
place is getting to me and I need to get away." He wanted to yell and
argue with her but he thought better of it.

"Please
stay with me."

"No. I
can't but stay here make yourself at home and when I get back we will
talk." as he brushed his hand through her hair.

She looked
at him upset and said, "When are you going?"

"Now."
Teddy went to kiss him but he pulled away and walked through the door and
didn't look back.

Mathew had
recently had his birthday and was now arguing with Spencer about his curfew. He
felt he should be allowed more time out with his friends but Spencer refused to
give in to his demands.

"You
need to concentrate on your school work."

"And
not have a life. I want to see more of my mates. Dad I'm not a baby
anymore."

"I hate
to butt in but can you two keep things down." Estevan asked.

"I know
you need to sort things out but I need to work as Blair is away and the arguing
seems to be getting worse."

"I want
to live with Aunt Heather!"

"They
are away on honeymoon. So guess what you have to stay here with me."
raising his voice to Mathew. They stormed out each slamming a door. Leaving Estevan
just standing there.

Teddy spent
the next week cleaning Blair's house as she had nothing better to do. She'd
phoned in sick as she was too afraid to go outside the front door in case her
ex saw her. She tried to phone Blair but his phone was switched off. She tried
to enter Blair's room but it was locked. She received another texted and it read,
'Darling, why weren't you there? You better not be seeing anyone.' and that was
only the start.

The phone rang the ID said unknown but she answered it as she
thought it may be Blair, "Hi."

"Darling,
where are you?"

"Go
away."

"You
are my girl and you need to be with me."

"No. I
don't love you."

"Now
you know that you do. Come to the house and we can talk."

"Listen
stay away from me and my house."

"It's
my house and I'm waiting for you." She put the phone down and this
time she was shaking. Then she heard a noise outside, Teddy looked out the
window but couldn't see anything. She stepped back knocking herself against the
chair but she kept her eye on the front door as the handle began to turn and
she watched the door slowly opened.

"No butt's,
now the photographers is waiting to take pictures. Now where is your
brother." leaving William alone. He rang Heather's mobile and Paris
answered, "Will she will be there now let her get ready." as she put
the phone down before he could say anything.

"Put a
bloody smile on your face will you."

"She
won't speak to me and I've left loads of messages Dad."

"Listen,
Sam and you are finding your feet in this relationship and once you tell each
other how you both feel then you will be fine but stop calling her all the time
as you sound needy. Now smile and think about seeing Sam later. William needs
us today so let's get some pictures done and make it a day to remember."
Spencer walked in and said, "I'm off now. I'll see you there." Mathew
was staying with Estevan as he didn't like girls and the thought of being around so
many made him nervous.

"I'll
see you at the wedding." as Spencer hugged Mathew before leaving.

The girls
were busy fighting for the bathroom, "Heather we know it's your big day but get
out of there. We need to get ready." As Heather comes out of the bathroom
the doorbell rang, Paris answered the door, "Hi." then bolted to the
bathroom before Sam realised it was free. Spencer sat down to watch TV thinking
it would be better to stay out of the way. "I hate to rush you ladies but
the photographer will be here in 30 minutes." The next 20 minutes all
Spencer heard was doors slamming and "I'm not going to be ready on time. I
need more time."

When Heather
was finally ready she came into the room and Spencer said, "Sis you look
wonderful. I'm so proud of you." Heather embraced him in a big hug saying,
"Thank you." and then started to cry. "Sis don't cry or you will
end up having to do you make up again." As she wiped away the tears,
Heather smiled and elbowed him in the side. "I'm glad you are here, Spence."

"Me
too, sis."

The
photographs were taken over the next 15 minutes and then the car arrived.
"I'm so nervous." as panic set in .

"Sam
and Paris both assured her that she would be fine."I have to stand in
front of everyone and say my vows."

"This
is what you wanted." Paris reminded her.

"I
know."

"You
don't want to be late for your own wedding, do you?" Sam asked. Heather
took a deep breath and thought I know I can do this and got in the car.

"Where
is she?" William asked Blake.

"She is
on her way and stop pacing the floor or you will wear it out."

"Will
sit down." Estevan commanded. They saw Sam poke her head through the door
nodding that Heather was here.

William was
nervous and starting to mumbling to himself, "I can do this." Estevan
interrupted his thoughts. "Will, do you love Heather?"

"Of
course I do."

"Then
get out there and say I do to each other."

As Heather
approached the front, William was taken a back at how beautiful she looked and
couldn't wait to hold her. When they were face to face they smiled at each
other and William said, "You look gorgeous."

"You're
handsome too." The guests gathered around them and watching them as
William started to take his vows,

"Heather
I love you

You are my
best friend

And my one
true love

And I
sincerely declare

That today
in front of our family and friends

That I William

Commit
myself once again to be your partner

I will
cherish our friendship

I vow to
love, honour and care for you

Today,
tomorrow and forever

I will be
your best friend

Your loyal
companion

And your
soul-mate throughout life

I will help
you when you need help

And I will
turn to you when I need help

I choose you
as the person with whom I will spend my life

And I
promise to live a life

That will
honour the vows we make today." Then it was it was Heather's turn. As she
looked into his eyes she recited the same vows,

"William
I love you

You are my
best friend

And my one
true love

And I
sincerely declare

That today
in front of our family and friends

That I Heather

Commit
myself once again to be your partner

I will
cherish our friendship

I vow to
love, honour and care for you

Today,
tomorrow and forever

I will be
your best friend

Your loyal
companion

And your
soul-mate throughout life

I will help
you when you need help

And I will
turn to you when I need help

I choose you
as the person with whom I will spend my life

And I
promise to live a life

That will
honour the vows we make today."

As they put
the rings on each other's fingers there were tears of joy and claps from
everyone who were pleased to see that they finally got married again. Then
William kissed Heather for the first time as Husband and Wife. He then leaned
over and whispered in her ear, "Fancy going home right now?" Heather
blushed and replied, "We will, just let's get though the day."

"I
can't wait." as he kissed her again. Suddenly they were being whisked away
to have more pictures taken.

Blake made
his way over to Sam and said, "You look wonderful, hun." "Blake we need to talk and as she was about to say what was on her mind but he
jumped in and they both said the same thing at the same time, "I love
you."Blake thought that Sam was going to break up with him but was
pleased to see that they felt the same way about each other.

"I
sorry Blake for having a go at you, it was just..."

"It's ok
Sam." as he stroked her cheek and then kissed her. Blair found William and
Heather, he approached them and offered his congratulations.

"It
means a lot Blair." as Heather kissed his cheek. William shook his hand
and added, "Is that your friend?"

"Yes. Her
name is Teddy."

"She
seems lovely. You'd better not leave her alone for too long." William
joked with him.

Spencer was busy talking with different people and every now and then, Mathew would say, "Dad I'm hungry. When can we eat?"

"Soon I
promise." Estevan came over towards Mathew and said, "Are you
hungry?" Mathew replied "Yes." Estevan pointed to behind his
back and when Mathew looked he saw a plate of food. "Don't tell
anyone." then Mathew took the plate and ran to a table to eat before anyone
saw.

It was time
for the cutting of the wedding cake after William and Heather had cut into the
cake, people were starting to each take a piece. Blake and Sam decided to go
and offered to take Mathew home to give Spencer a break. They went to say goodbye
to the happy couple, "Put your wife down." watching his brother break
from kissing Heather. "Congratulations to you both." as he hugged
Heather and whispered quietly, "Glad to have my sister back."

"It's
nice to be back Blake and thanks for everything." William said to Blake
and Sam, "Nice to see you have made up." As they watched Blake and
Sam take off, William pointed to Spencer and Paris getting cosy in the corner.

"Heather
when can we leaving?"

"Why?

"I want
to be alone with you in our house."

"We are
going straight to the new house?" as her face lit up. The thought of their
own place, no one interfering in their lives and being able to making love with
each other with no one just walking through the door just brought a smile to
Heather.

She took his
hand and said, "I want to go home, Will."

The limo was
waiting to take them home. On the journey home things were getting very hot.
Will started to run his hand down her face and body, his lips
made his way from her lips down the neck and he whispered in her ear, "I
love you." Neither of them had realised the door had already opened and the driver coughed to get their
attention, "Mr Granger, Sir. You are home."

"Thank
you." as he helped Heather out of the limo.

When they
got inside William pinned Heather to the wall and said, "Where were
we?" She released herself from William running up the stairs leaving him
in shock at what just happened and turned around and said, "Are you
staying there all night?"

Heather got
to the bathroom so she could change. "Are you ok in there?" William
asked as he waited patiently. Then she came in view of the doorway, "Do I
look ok?" He was lost for words and just stared at her as she approached
him.

Heather climbed on top of him like she had the other day and replied,
"This is how I remember it."

William
responded to her, "Definitely the way I remember it."

Note: This was where I got the wedding dressand
also the vows I did not write myself I found examples on the internet and
thought they were right for this chapter.

Saturday, 21 April 2012

Estevan had
arranged the venue for both the bachelor and bachelorette parties, he was
closing his one club "The Grind" on the two consecutive nights. The Friday
night the club was hosting his son's last night of freedom and the following
night it would be Heathers turn to experience one last blow out a week before
the big day.

Although he
had helped arrange Williams's party with Blake, the only involvement with
Heather party was the venue and he was also getting the bills for the wedding.
Heather had picked her bridesmaids Paris and Samantha, she wanted Mathew to be a
page boy but he refused, he did promise his Aunt that he would be there on her
wedding.

Blake was
getting a hard time off Sam as he had organised dancers for this party and she
felt they were going to do more than dance. "Darling you know that I would
never look." as he tried to explain and for the first time he saw Sam get
angry and upset, "You expect me to believe that you and your mates aren't
going to look, yeah right." Then she slammed the door in his face.

"Sam calm down."
Heather told her.

"It should be me
telling you that. Why aren't you upset?" Sam enquired.

"I know William loves
me and not some dancer. Blake loves you, anyone can see that."

"I know but he hasn't
told me that he loves me and I've never had a boyfriend I care so much for. The
truth is I love Blake and it scares the hell out of me."

William was
getting ready for his party and he heard his Dad call from downstairs
"Will let's go you don't want to be late." Estevan pulled Blake aside
and said, "Blair is going to be there as William invited him. Rumour is he
is seeing someone so William thought it would be good to let the thing with
Heather and Blair go."

"Fine
it means he took on board what I said and is finally staying away from
Heather."

"What's
really bothering you Blake?"

"Sam is
angry with me for getting dancers and she thinks I'm..."

"Going
to go with one of them, right." Blake looked at his Dad as he continued,
"Sam will calm down all you need to do is tell her how you feel."

"I
haven't had the time what with work, organising this party."

"True
but there is a wedding coming up and maybe that would be the perfect way to say
I love you to Sam."

When they
arrived the music was pumping the bar staff had already put plenty of drinks on
the bar and as each guest arrived they each took one. Tonight was a free bar so
the drinks were flowing and the guests were getting louder. One of the guests
found a stack of champagne and shook a bottle and the cork flew out across the
room and he aimed the bottle at his mate soaking him but not before spraying
some of the champagne in his mouth.

Spencer loved
the party; he couldn't remember the last time he went out. He felt his phone
vibrate and looked at his phone and thought I'll call Paris in the morning.

This then
started a chain reaction and all the boys started spraying each other. William
caught Blair with a bottle and then Blair retaliated back. "So rumour has
it Blair, you are seeing someone. Is that true?"

"We are
just friends. She has been through a lot and so have I."

"Well I
hope things work out for you and I hope you will bring her to the
wedding." Estevan then interrupted them and said, "Blake wants
you."

William made
his way towards his brother and Blake held up his hands and shouted, "Can
I have everyone's attention." The music was turned down and everyone
gathered around, "I'd like to thank you all for coming to my brothers last
night of freedom but as you all know, William is getting married and this time
we all know about it."

"Very
funny Blake."

"As I
was saying before I got interrupted by my brother, I thought I' give him a night
to remember so...Officers can we help you, this is a private party."

"We
heard there was trouble here." as she started to dance for William. He
shot a look at Blake who loved he was causing his brother embarrassment and
then the two dancers started to put on quite a show. All the boys were
screaming "More, More." in their drunken state and spraying more
drink at each other. As the night drew to a close Estevan and Blake had to
carry William home. Heather was not impressed at being woken up by her drunken husband
to be who fell through the door. She took one look and said, "I'm not
moving you so you can sleep there."

"Heath"
as he began to hiccup, "I wuv you." Heather wanted him to sleep so
she threw a pillow at him and told him, "Go to sleep." as her temper
was starting to rise at being woken up.

In the
morning Heather slammed anything she could and heard, "Keep the noise
down. My head hurts." Heather snapped at Will, "You have a nerve, you
woke me up last night you idiot." As Will got onto the bed, she thought
I'll drive him nuts before I go to work.

She climbed on top of him and Will
pushed himself up, thinking Heather was finally going to give in and as she got
closer their lips almost touched and she said softly, "Will darling."
as he closed his eyes ready to get his way with her, "You ever wake me up
like that again and you'll be on the couch, ok." Heather then got up
leaving Will nursing an erection. She heard him shout, "I'll get you for
that."

Sam came
over later to collect Heather for her bachelorette party and ignored Blake as
she was still mad at him for the dancers he had organised, as Estevan passed
them staring at each other he thought at this rate there will be no wedding and
no girlfriends but I must not interfere and continued towards the office where
he was overseeing the last of the paper work for the new venue, Blair had given
him. The drugs were a what kept the clubs afloat and if Elvira hadn't be greedy
then there would have been no issue. Although he knew she was going to threaten
his sons lives and for him that was crossing the line.

At the grind
again the drinks were lined up and waiting for the guests as they arrived. When
Paris got there she pulled Heather aside and said, "Love the wig hun. I
have to tell you something."

"Well
what is it?"

"Spencer
asked me out and well we went on our first date and I really like him
and..."

"Geese
stop rambling, will you. I will be honest it is going to uncomfortable for me
but at the same time I can't stop you. Besides you might be good for him keep
him grounded." Paris kissed her cheek and squeezed her and said,
"Thanks."

Heather saw
a young girl by the door and went over, "Sorry this is a closed
party."

"I'm
looking for Heather."

"That's
me, can I help you?"

"Paris
invited me. She said you wouldn't mind and to ask for you when I got
here."

"What's
your name?

"Teddy."

"Nice
to meet you Teddy. Drinks are on the house at the bar and enjoy the night."
The girls were becoming more noisy as they spotted two guys walking in. They
started chanting, "Get the clothes off, get them off."

The men
started to dance and some of the ladies were trying to fight their way to the
front in order to get a better look. Heather had front view of one of the
dancers and was going with the flow of the crowd.

Paris
approached Teddy and asked, "You enjoying yourself?"

"Yes I
am. Where did you get those guys from?"

"Looked
on the internet and found these guys. I have to go." as Paris saw Sam passing by. "Did you pick up the dresses."

Sam replied
"Yes. We are now all ready for the wedding. Have you told William about
Heather staying at my place the night before the big day?"

"It'll
be fine, now I have to make a speech." Paris called everyone around,
"Thank you all for coming tonight. I'm not a person for big speeches but I
would like to wish Heather years of happiness in her marriage to William and I
hope you will be very happy. Please raise your glass in congratulations too
Heather."

Tuesday, 17 April 2012

Blair was
busy putting the last few details of the next venue together and it was giving
him a headache so when he received a call on his mobile he was relieved to have
the distraction. "Hi." as the number came up unknown.

"I
wanted to say thanks for the other night."

"Um,
who is this and how did you get this number?"

"Blair
it's me, Teddy I'm the girl you drove home. They gave me your number at the
club."

"I remember
you have a temper when you can't get a drink. Are you feeling better after the
other night?"I'm
ok. Are you working tonight?"

"I'm
working from home, why?"

"Could
I come and see you? It's just I want to talk to someone and you were a great at
listening the other night, would it be ok?"

"I
guess so I'll come and get you around 7pm, would that be ok?"

"That'll
be fine and I will be ready. See you shortly."

As he put
the phone down he wondered if it was a good idea. After all he was struggling
with his own problems and dealing with heartbreak and rejection he hated but he
could definitely sympathize with Teddy.

Blair asked
Teddy if she wanted a drink but she declined as she made herself at home.

"So what
do you want to talk about?" as he sat next to her.

"I just
needed someone to talk to as living on your own gets lonely and talking to
yourself is horrible."

"I love
the solitude. Don't you have friends to talk too? I mean you hardly know me."

"I did
have friends but my ex pushed them all away. He hated me talking to anyone but
I finally got the strength to throw him out after listening to his crap."

Blair
started to feel uncomfortable, "Look I do have a lot of work to do maybe I
should take you home!"

"Please
let me stick around. I enjoy your company." as she looked into his eyes.
Blair thought why would this young girl like my company. Then she asked as she moved close towards him,
"Are you seeing anyone?"

"No. I
love the single life. Tell me more about yourself." As he tried to pull away but as she got closer he found her charming and so he started to relax. As they talked more he began to smile and laugh.
"What's so funny?" Teddy asked.

"You
are; you have such a beautiful smile when you laugh."

"I
don't." as she threw a pillow at him and before Blair knew it he was in a
pillow fight with her. When they finished they both collapsed in
fits of laughter.

"I
haven't had this much fun in a long time." as he tried to get his breath
back.

"It is getting late so I'd better get you
home."

He still had
a smile on his face when he got back home. As he passed through the living room
he noticed some things were out of place. He thought he was imagining things and he must have forgotten to put things back. Tonight had been a good night despite
his concerns and a few things out of place were not going to spoil things for
him.

Blair was
too wired to sleep yet so he went back to working on the next venue and to make
sure all the figures were correct before he spoke to Estevan and confirmed the
final details. There was a loud noise coming from up stairs so he left the desk
and made his way up stairs. The noise was coming from his black room as he like
to call it. He loved that room as it was so dark and peaceful but who would
dare to invade his favourite room in the house.

He slowly
got to the door and took hold of the handle taking care to turn the handle quietly.
He then pushed the door as wide as it would go and slowly made his way into the
room. He saw a shadow of a figure using his bed and yelled, "Get out of my
bed."

There was no
response, "Did you fucking hear me? I said get out of my bed." As he
got closer to the bed he saw who was lying on his bed and when they spoke it
sent shivers down his spine, "Why should I?" as Elvira's ghost
refused to go anywhere.

Tuesday, 10 April 2012

Estevan
decided to take advantage the house being empty, it was nice to have a house
full but it was nice to hear the sound of nothing throughout the house. He had
just sat down when the door opened and he thought, it was nice while it lasted.
No sound came from the hall but when he looked up; he found that he was staring
at himself. The clothes the hair was different but he knew it was his own
reflection or self when he was in his 20's.

"Yes
it's you. I mean me, us." as he stared at his older self sitting in shock.

"It
can't be; now go away."

"Remember
we are the same person so, you know this is all real. You do remember the time
machine in the garage; well that's how I'm here."

"I said
get out." raising his voice.

"No.
Now sit down and bloody well listen to me." Estevan sat back down just
staring at his younger self, "You have 5 minutes."

"It
will take as long as it takes so do us a favour and shut up. Remember our wife
Holly, the woman who loved us the woman who kept us together, the one
who..."

Estevan got
angry and said, "Don't you dare talk about Holly to me."

"Why do
you even care you left her and now I'm in pain, I mean just look at me, I mean
you. I turn into you an ass with no feeling. Do you even remember what it feels
like to love? She loved us and the boys and you destroyed her world and ours.
You are full of anger and hate and have twisted sense of love for the boys. Do
you even remember how you felt about Holly, the warmth of her skin the touch of
her lips? Just the touch from her would make you shiver. She was perfect the
way she was and you left her, she would have pull you through but you never
gave her the chance and taking the boys away from her broke her heart and yet she
still loved you. When was the last time you had sex? I'll tell you shall I,
when you were with Holly your wife almost 30 years ago. That is a lot of
frustration. You need to remember her..."

Feeling the
rage he yelled, "I don't want to remember and besides she is dead my Holly
is gone and what's point to remember when all I feel is pain and longing for a
woman I can never hold or touch again." as he started to break down.

"I am
leaving these here in the hope that it will remind you of love and belonging,
so that you can see that the boys have grown up well and that loving someone is
a good and not a bad thing so that you can relate to what they are going
through. You also need to have more pictures of her around here to show the
boys that she is still a part of this family and never forget."

He started
to think about her, he remembered he was best mates with her brother, Jason and
that was how he and Holly first met. She was the only person who would never
put up with his shit. She could control him but she never knew the power she
had over him. He didn't mind though and that was one of the reasons he never
looked at anyone else. He could never betray her like that, that night he left
took all his strength and if she had caught him leaving, he would never have
gone.

She refused
to sleep with him until their wedding night but as he remembered it was worth
the wait. Holly may have been human but kept up with him all night and that was
how William came to be. He opened the
package on the table, inside was a video tape and a photograph that he took of
Holly on their wedding day along with a few other photos of them together. As
he looked at each one in turn, feelings he tried to bury were coming to the
surface. As he continued to look at the photo of Holly he ran his hand across
her face and felt tears roll down his cheek. The overwhelming pain of giving up
the person you care for the most was torture for him; the boys were the only
thing that kept him going.

He knew what
he was told was all true so he decided to swap the painting in the living room
for Holly so that she would always be a part of their life.

When
the boys saw the painting of their mother in the living room they both smiled.

Note: I wanted to explain his character but I decided to do it differently so I hope you still enjoyed this short chapter :)
